Diana POV
“What do you think you want??” she yells, turning to the side, and an older woman appears, I almost think it's my mother but I remember her clearly and she is not my mother.
“Indigo? What's going on? Who is this?” the lady grabs her arm softly, sending me dagger-like looks with eyes narrowed “And who are you?” she turns to me, a pompous air around her, “What are your thoughts? Doing here? Why are you making her feel worse after what has happened?”
“I don’t understand” My brows bend, my frown deep, confusion clear on my face.
She rolls her eyes, “Mr and Mrs. Boackwood got into an accident last night and lost their lives, we are barely grieving, now I'm going to ask you one last time, who are you?”
Shock pushed through me, I'm I bad luck or something, “My parents are dead!!” I exclaim my eyes wide arms pushing widely above me
“Your parents?,” she frowns her eyes moving between me and Indigo who is in a deep frown, tears streaming down her face
“You are the switched child don’t know what you want here but there's nothing for you here, everything was left and donated to charity, I guess they didn't consider any of you their child” she turns away grabbing Indigo by the arm, and turning away
“Leave this place and never come back, there's nothing for you here!!” she yells pushing Indigo towards the door
“Wait” I yell and they halt in their tracks turning to me, “Indigo, our mother, she's sick and she needs urgent treatment, just some money, 25,000 dollars, that's all she needs Indigo, we need to save her” I sag my voice filled with desperacy.
“We?” she frowns raising a brow at me, a pompous air around her, “I have nothing to do with you poor wretched fellows, leave the property and never come back, you heard my aunty,” she says to me like she's the real daughter of the Blackwoods “There's nothing for you here” she yells
“Security” she screams wiping away her tears
Two men in black push through the entrance, my heart beats with fear and my eyes turn to her desperately, how can she be so evil? So unconcerned? “Please Indigo” I beg
“Get her out of here and if she gets a meter close to the property I will place a restraining order on you Diana, and you both will be fired immediately” she threatens turning away and walking through the double olive green doors
The men grab me aggressively, throwing me between the both of them, they throw me outside the gates and onto the graveled floor, and my elbows burn from the burn
The sky is almost dark, tears prick at the corner of my eyes, and my body shaking with overwhelming sadness, what will happen? To Ma now? I promised her I was coming home with a solution.
How do I face her after tonight? I turn to look at my purse, no money, I look down the street and decide I will be walking back home, maybe I could find a job for tonight for food at most.
My legs carry me through the dark streets, I walk past the rich part of town and I make it to the parking lot of a supermarket when I feel a dark cloth around my eyes
I scream and kick but I'm grabbed by strong arms, “Quiet b***h”
My mouth is immediately gagged and the smell of chemicals enters my nose, I try to fight back, grabbing skin, when I'm tossed on the floor, my hands are released and I hear an audible yelp, a scream, and an unforgettable sound of flesh meeting flesh.
My heart pumping in my chest I crawl on my bottom, my back meeting with a wall when I pull off the dark cloth from my eyes, my eyes meet with a scene, one man lays unconscious on the floor, his face red with blood and injuries, his eyes are closed and a dark cloth is in his hand probably for tying me up.
I hear more fights coming from my right, a man in a white shirt and trousers is currently on top of another man on the floor, punch after punch, blood splattering around, and the man begging for mercy.
My heart stops but adrenaline fills my veins and I rush towards the man grabbing his shoulder, and then his arm to stop him from hurting the man any further, the man I. The floor, his eyes are closed, probably punched to unconsciousness
“Don’t kill him, that's a crime” I yell
“I think trying to kidnap an unsuspecting lady on the street is much more of a worse crime than the beatings they have received today,” he says his voice deep and seductive, his bright blue eyes rise to meet mine as he climbs off the man and he turns to me, his eyes searching my face and scrolling down my body.
“Are you okay?” he asked, concern filled in his voice, “Did they touch you? Are you hurt?” his voice is sweet, enough to make any lady's panties drop, I'm entranced and I only stare at him, a strong jawline, pink lips, and bright blue eyes like the sea in movies.
He raises a brow at me and I finally reply, “I’’ okay, just a bit spooked from what just happened?”
He nods, his eyes moving around, “So you want to call the police?” he raises a brow at me, “Or we could just leave them here” he shrugs, his eyes moving to the distance where a Suv is pulling up.
“I’m Caspain Grey by the way” he stretched his hand forward while I stand there in shock at his introduction
“Caspain grey? You're the Secret Billionaire” I say in shock.
